Is that what you mean?? --> archiver a pack pack.arch -mzstd:l18 -b128 -t6

On the old laptop, the same error occurs as above. On the Xeon PC, there is no error!

UPD: Meanwhile, it turned out that testing small archives (<1-10MB) runs so quickly that there is no indication of the current status of the process. When testing larger archives (1+ GB), there is already a progress indicator. However, there is still no "Archive/All OK" feedback about the success of the testing (or about any errors?).

Are all the classic FreeArc algorithms supported?

What about the incompatibility of tta + solid mode combinations or other rare cases?

Could the "Archiver" program itself be backported to WinXP x86, from source? True, this would be useful mostly for unpacking (like: lolz!), if someone were to use it on XP, with many restrictions. (avoiding large dictionary sizes, Xtool FLAC codec not available in 32bit version, limited support for oodle codecs, etc...)

The precomp, is it version 0.4.7/0.4.8 or older?

UPD2: Found another bug/issues...

Bink compressions not workings, in get 0% ratio reduction via "-mxtool:bink/bpk" or another xtool-related iterations or wrong archive via "-mbink" compression mode, get ~32-36MB size bad archive and testing decompression, will generate blank and weird "chinese-text" named file. (Picture) Compress via -mdedup or -msrep only its works. (~10% size reduction.)

2nd issues, its probably 99% "dedup" external compressors only, stream conflicts/imcompatibility issue via xtool.

Bad: -mprecomp:cflac+dedup+zstd:l22:w31:s9:f1 -b32m -t8
Working: -mprecomp:cflac+srep+zstd:l22:w31:s9:f1 -b256m -t8
with or without "-b256m ..." switches.

More infos from attached TXT file.

Hello and thank you for your contribution to this new tool it needs attention.

that said, the issues you have, you cant use solid mode only stuff into blocked compression,

Blocked Compression and Solid Compression are 2 different things in my tool.

-mprecomp:cflac:cbink+rep+zstd:l22:w31:s9:f1
or
-mprecomp:cbink:b512mb:t90p

use this

Issue2:
This tool cant be ported to WinXP, i loved WinXp too back in the day but dedicating another year just to make it work on that old prehistoric OS is a solid Nope for me,

My plan was to make this futuristic tool with great utilities inside, most of which cant work on that OS for very good reasons.

however i plan to add a dedicated DLL for unpacking in x86 at some point.

Issue3:
TTA and other stuff can be added externally, they arent present in my code, use fazip.exe it works and also lolz works great
